What test will tell me amount of antibodies

[unquietmind]

Hi,

I posted about a week ago worried i had contracted herpes. After receiving a blood test it came out positive. The test did not state the AMOUNT of antibodies in my system, and according to the research I have done on this STD the more antibodies you have the longer ago you contracted it, or vice-versa (please correct if I am incorrect).
What test can I take that will state the amount of anitbodies in my system? I am going to see my GP on Wed (hopefully). Any help before then would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Grace,

If 2 people with HSV-2 have sex whilst the one is prodromal or having a ob, can that trigger an ob in the other person?

you need to go and have this discharge properly evaluated by your provider.

Hi Grace,

I have recently noticed a discharge, almost yello-green in colour and a bit of an odour from my vagina. This is new. Could this be herpes related? When i got tested for HSV i had a full STD screen, all was negative except HSV 1and 2. During my primary ob I think I had a discharge and a different odour.
Could there be something else wrong? Is this a normal symptom?
I am going for another blood test in about 2 weeks, that will be 2 months after I had unprotected sex. This test will be specifi for IgG as my initial test only came back positive for the IGm test.

What should I do regarding this discharge? I'm concerned.

Thanks so much

You clearly aren't reading the herpes handbook as suggested.

Here is the chapter on treatment:

According to grace from a recent post: As for suppressive therapy and its effectiveness - it is significantly effective. It reduces viral shedding by 80-90% and reduces ob's by 70% on average.

Hi Grace,

If i do suppressive therapy how does that work with having ob's and being asymptomatic?
I am considering taking antivirals daily. a) I think I will feel more at ease in general. b) I will feel more comfortable when getting sexually involved with someone, knowing that there is possibly less chance I can give them the virus.
So what do you recommend regarding suppression therapy?
